Authors Notes: Hi, I am so sorry for the long wait! I had half this chapter written and then my keyboard broke =[ I attempted to write with the on-screen keyboard, but that took me forever just to do a sentence. So, my Daddy bought me a new computer.

Both women hit the ground heavily, as they appeared out of practically nowhere. Had anyone been watching, they would have thought they were seeing things. As luck would have it, there was a fierce storm currently tearing at whatever alternate universe they had been brought to, the two girls were currently being showered heavily by cold droplets of rain, the ground they were laying on was muddy and Kim and Shego quickly realized how filthy they now where, and that these were the only clothes they had in this universe, and they had no money.

They second problem wasn't so much of a concern for Shego, she was a master thief, she didn't need money to get what she wanted.

Rolling over on to her back, Kim looked over to where Shego was laying about a foot away, a tense expression on her face.

"Shego..?" she called, her eyes widened as Shego turned her head towards her. The raven-haired woman's eyes were full of pain; it brought Kim back to the night of the 'Diablo Incident'. That scream...

Kim then focused again and realized that scream was not only in her thoughts, Shego was screaming like she was burning alive, or more accurately being electrocuted alive. Her back arched and her teeth grinded together harshly. Kim was in a panic as she crawled over to the other woman.

Shego writhed in the muddy ground, she could feel herself sweating and her hands lit up because of the excruciating pain, she couldn't control her powers. It felt as though she was going through that night again, that she was getting kicked into the tower once again...

-------

"Do you know what I really hate?" Kim asked, her eyes blazing with fury and her mouth set in a snarl. There were no tears glistening in her eyes as she glared at her green-skinned nemesis, they were both standing in the mud, Kim was shivering slightly as the rain continued to pour down, but she couldn't feel it, all she could feel was the blinding, white hot rage that was consuming her. Even her thoughts were incoherent.

Shego smirked, her eyes taunting, mocking Kim for all she was worth. Shego decided to answer, "That your date melted?" Her smirk widened as she noticed Kim's eyes increase in fury, but then she started to feel a slight inkling fear, she couldn't see her princess in those eyes, it was like it was someone else.

"No," Kim smiled, it was a bittersweet smile, that quickly turned into a sadistic one, "You."

Shego felt something undefinable as Kim spoke those words, right now Shego couldn't say the Kimmie didn't hate her, but she knew somehow that this wasn't her Kimmie. She was so lost in her thoughts and feelings that she didn't see the kick coming, and didn't have enough time to block.

She felt herself flying through they air backwards, and she started to feel serene, until her back connected painfully with something, and she stuck to it, her feet not touching the ground.

It took her a moment to feel the pain, but when she did, she let out a loud bloodcurdling scream. The only time she had felt so much pain was when the comet hit and her plasma was intergrating with her body, making her blood boil in her veins. But at the moment she couldn't even think, she couldn't see or smell or hear. All she could do is feel, feel as 1000s of vaults of electricty continued to run through her body, over and over again, her feet weren't touching the ground, so there was nothing to make it stop.

She managed to snap her eyes open again, only to see her Kimmie, wait not her Kimmie, standing in the distance. A sardonic smirk painted onto her features.

All Shego could think at that moment, was that she had lost her Kimmie. Once her eyes closed, she welcomed the blackness that pulled her into unconciousness.

-------

Shego snapped herself from the painful memory, and found the pain had finally passed, she saw a blurry figure leaning over her and when she could make it out she saw Kim looking down at her in concern, looking close to tears.

"Oh my god," Her voice broke and she continued in a whisper, "What happened Shego?... I haven't heard you scream like that since.. t-that night."

Shego managed to put a smirk on her face, but she winced slightly as she moved to sit up. Feeling the aching muscles protesting, she frowned. It was the worst bout of phantom pain she had ever had. She occasionally went into a type of seizure that were similar, but the pain was never that intense, this one was almost like she was back to that night, in the rain and pinned to the tower.

"Phantom pain, Princess." she drawled, her eyes watching Kim as the other girl seemed to be once again holding back tears. "Kimmie, I think you've done enough blubbering tonight. This is the price I pay for that night, yours is living in constant regret. I think it's actually a pretty even deal. The pain will fade, its just because it's been so soon, I'm not meant to strain myself - Doctor's orders, and no not Dr. Dumbass either."

Kim closed her eyes and wiped at them, letting a weary smile cross her face she opened her eyes and looked at Shego with a curious expression.

Shego gave her a disgruntled look, she'd never been a fan of staring, and it really got on her nerves, seeing as she was green and could shoot plasma from her hands she tended to get a lot of stares, but when she was younger, she used to be teased mercilessly for being what she was. She got over it though, she had been through the whole angst-y teenage business and did not wish to do it again.

"What?" she barked, frowning at the other girl, Kim looked surprised, but didn't stop her staring.

"What we're you doing to Drakken? He looked pretty beat up when we got there..." Kim said, eyeing Shego, she really was curious. She had seen Shego get angry at Drakken before, because even the most tolerant of people wouldn't be able to handle Drakken 24/7 without getting tweaked, but the redhead had never seen Shego like that, she looked almost murderous.

A scowl formed on Shego's face as she looked away. Just as Kim thought for a moment she wouldn't answer but then the raven-haired woman spoke.

"He was rambling about his taking over the world like usual," Shego looked at Kim and they both rolled their eyes at the blue mans predictability, "And I realized that the reason I went through all that pain with the Erik thing was because I wasn't clued into what was going on, so I demanded to know."

Kim nodded for her to continue. Cringing slightly when Shego mentioned Erik, she felt incredibly stupid now, she had convinced herself she was in love with him, and when she found out he wasn't real, she went on a rampage and hurt the one woman she realized now that she could possibly have a lasting relationship with. But she'd managed to shoot that idea all to hell, and Kim thought it was very improbable that Shego would forgive her, Kim was sure she wouldn't if she had to live through that, and more, if the episode the green-skinned woman had earlier was any indication to what Shego had to deal with.

"Anyway, I threatened him with plasma and he blurted out that he was going to hit you with that PDV-whatever thing, and then if that didn't work he was going to hit the Liar Destruct button, and then escape in an exit only he knew of. Seems the dolt didn't care much for keeping any of us around."

Kim's mouth hung open as she listened to Shego. She couldn't believe Drakken would do something like that... She'd always thought he was relatively harmless, and a bit immature, but that... it was evil. Shego had been with Drakken as long as Kim could remember, always saving him, breaking him out of jail, when she could probably get paid a lot more with someone else.

"That's.. didn't he always go on and on about you two being an Evil Family, or something as equally ridiculous?" Kim asked, baffled.

Shego nodded and laughed a bit.. Then she realized what she was doing she stopped. She couldn't be laughing with the good-goody cheerleader... It was wrong! They had a grudging respect, yes, but they weren't meant to get along.. Shego couldn't comprehend it.

"Uh, princess. Do you happen to know where we are?" Shego asked abruptly, looking around and still feeling the heavy droplets of water pelting down on her, she wasn't to worried about being cold, since her powers protected her from things like hypothermia, but Kimmie was a different story.

Not that she cared or anything. Shego just didn't want to be left to fend alone in some fucked up alternate world. Well, that's what she told herself anyway.

"Kim?" she asked when she noticed the girl didn't answer, "You're going to freeze ya know, and I don't exactly want to be left alone... Whether you like it or not were stuck with each other, and I don't want you to catch a cold or something..." Shego frowned when she realized what she was saying, it almost sounded like… concern. She felt a disgust at herself, this girl had put her through hell and back, why the hell should she feel concerned for the little cheerleader?

Kim who had been sitting quietly, lost in her own thoughts shot up at the sound of the green-skinned thief's sultry voice, a shiver ran through her body, she thought it was just some weird, lusty feeling but then she shivered again and noticed how freezing she was, sitting in the mud. In the middle of know where. All she had on was her mission gear, nothing to keep her warm in these conditions.

"Fuck," she hissed in a rare show of coarse language, not something frequented by the teenaged-heroine, she was not one that liked to swear. "All I have is these," she gestured to her soaked clothes, "I haven't even got a jacket, and by the looks of it where in the middle of some paddock, it's too clear of flora to be anything else."

Shego nodded and thought for a minute. "Have you checked that blue gadget or something? Just to see if where not actually in some alternate realty, because there's a chance Dr. D could have fucked up his plan like always and accidently just teleported us somewhere, we could still be in our universe."

Shego was usually the kind of person to look at the glass half-empty; she was surprised at what she said, because it sounded more like something that would come out of Kim's mouth.

Kim shook her head and mentally kicked herself for not thinking of that sooner, quickly getting out the Kimmunicator she powered it up and watched the screen hopefully, praying to whatever deity out there that Wades face would appear.

It seemed her praying was useless, as all it showed was a small box, declaring 'No Signal'.

"Nothing." she looked up at Shego, feeling her hope leave her.

The whole situation suddenly really started to sink in to the teenage-heroine; they were really stuck in some other world. Kim was struggling with all her feelings once again, she was trying desperately not to cry, because she knew that it didn't help and would just serve to anger her green-skinned companion.

Shego could see that Kim was starting to relize they were really stuck, and there was really nothing either of them could do to get themselves back. She felt that alien-concerned feeling rise up inside of her when she realized that Kim was trying not to cry. Shego instantly squashed it down and determinedly ignored it. She would analyze that bullshit later; right now she was more worried about finding some shelter.

"Uh, Kimmie while sitting out in the rain is great and all, I think we should probably start looking around for somewhere to sleep, preferably, a house." Shego piped up, looking over at where Kim was laying on her back, her eyes were closed and she couldn't make out tears because of the rain, but she was sure the teenager was crying.

"I think," Kim sniffed, "That's a good idea, which way to you think we should go?"

Shego stood up, wincing and then shrugged, having no clue what to do in a situation such as this. She was just the hired help, the muscle for Drakken, "Weren't you one of those, Pixie Scouts when you were a kid? They taught you all that survival shit didn't they?"

Kim grimaced and blushed, "How did you know?"

Shego grinned, her enhanced eye-sight picking up on the light pink tinting to her companions cheeks. "You just strike me as the type, Princess."

Kim looked up, her eyes were intense and Shego didn't know what emotion was showing in the younger girls eyes, but she found herself wanting to find out, she was struck with the sudden, completely confusing urge to ravish the red-haired teenager, she found her eyes roaming over the teenager's scantily-clad body, suddenly glad it was raining.

Mine.

The possessive growl in her thoughts shocked Shego and she hid her eyes from the cheerleader and silently screamed to herself in her thoughts.

What the fuck? Did I just get all possessive over Kimmie?

Shaking her head, she decided to worry about it later; she needed to get out of this rain, now. Reaching towards Kimmie she held out her hand and she did something she hadn't done in a while; she smiled. It wasn't a smirk or a mischievous grin, it was small and faint but also completely genuine, and that was something rare for the statuesque villainess.

Kim took her hand and ended up being pulled within inches of the other woman, her heart sped up and their eyes locked for what seemed like eternity, before Shego turned, her hair then hitting Kim in the face, making her breath in the raven-haired woman's exotic scent.

Temporarily lost in her senses, Kim then shook her head and quickly followed after Shego, while she was upset that she'd been taken to some other world, but beneath that was a little thrill that came with all her new adventures.

She just reminded herself; I can do anything…
